Inspiration & Resources

If you're in need of a little inspiration or are looking for some useful resources for your learning, discovery and exploration journey, check back on this page from time to time.

There is a theme every month – a particular subject that I have been exploring and that I hope will resonate with you. The theme is explored more in depth in my monthly newsletter.  You can read the pdf version by clicking on the link below or subscribe by sending me an email. 

Below you will also find inspiring links to articles and other websites that I hope will lead you to more peace, joy and connection in your daily life. These will grow in number as time goes on, but it is my intention that this is a relaxing, peaceful place and not one where you feel overwhelmed.

Theme of the month:

The theme this month is Playing with ALL the selves inside YOU. The topic came to me after a powerful weekend of breakthrough coaching that I participated in recently. Since then, I have been observing the sides of myself that I share with others and those that I am more careful with--those that I am afraid to show with others and sometimes even myself. And I have been very aware of the sides that others are showing. I am still amazed sometimes when I see a person in a certain way and then learn something about them later that totally changes my perspective. Of course we see what they have chosen to share and this is filtered through our own perspectives.  When we share more of all our selves, we peel those layers off so people can see more of who we really are. You can read more about my own experience with the different selves in me in this month's newsletter.    

The Mood Lady this month represents ALL the selves in you.  You can learn more about her creator and see more of her art at Myspace or Facebook.

As you can see, the ALL selves mood lady is ready for a party. Because as I talk about in the newsletter, when you are curious about all your selves and listen to them and what they are trying to tell you, it IS like a party. Instead of seeing certain selves as 'good' and 'bad', you can view them simply as information. The selves tell you things about how you are feeling and why. And when you can tap into this information and stop judging it, stop trying to hide it or hide from it, you can experience a feeling of liberation and freedom that is like the best party ever. So have some fun, do some exploring and bring those selves out to PLAY!

Links and other resrouces:
  • My book pick of the month is Transitions by William Bridges. I read this book years ago and have been recently re-reading it. There is so much here. The thing I have gotten from it this time is just that we can use the power of change instead of being overpowered by it. What a comforting thought, don't you think?

  • The Energy of Money by Maria Nemeth. This is an interesting book all about your relationship to money. It is not a "financial" book, but more of a spiritual book about looking at yourself, your TRUE self, and creating the kind of relationship to money that best supports YOU.

  • Want some fun and lightness every weekday? Sing up for Notes from the Universe. Every day you will receive a personalized message to remind you of who you are. These messages almost never fail to bring a smile to my face.

  • Read fascinating research about the heart at the Institute of HeartMath. There are articles and tips on how we can live more in tune with our hearts, connecting our hearts and our minds on a daily basis.

  • More to come!
